chilinfo
This is a simple program that returns information on the first raster
found in a radar file. It is intended for use in shell scripts where
for instance one might wish to use a different calibration figure
depending on the file (or tape) number.
Usage
chilinfo file.[dat|raw] [options]
With no options the program will print a list of file and raster
properties on standard error. Alternatively, one or more options can
be specified which will result in a line of standard output containing
the requested values in the order they were specified. The available
options are:
- -file, -tape
- The file (or tape) number, with leading zeros.
- -raster
- The raster number.
- -date
- The date in the form YYYYMMDD.
- -system
- A string describing the radar system. Currently defined are
`CAMRa', `Rabelais', `Galileo' and `Singapore'. Any other system will
return `Unknown'.
- -system_id
- A number identifying the radar system. CAMRa is 1, Rabelais is 2,
Galileo is 3 and Singapore is 4.
- -experiment
- The two-letter experiment code as used in summary files. If the
experiment is not recognised, `??' will be returned.
- -experiment_ir
- The numerical experiment identifier.
- -cloud_data
- Returns 1 if cloud data, 0 otherwise.
- -ir
- In addition to any information reported on standard output,
display the value of each byte in the Information Record (the first 64
bytes of a scan) on standard error.
